The Peruvian Antshrike is a rare and highly localized species, endemic to a very specific region of southeastern Peru. It is a secretive bird of the forest understory.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth of humid lowland and foothill rainforests, particularly in bamboo thickets, endemic to a restricted range in southeastern Peru.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'tew-tew-tew-tew' call. Observe from a distance with extreme patience, focusing on subtle movements in the thick vegetation. A local guide is highly recommended.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Its calls are the best way to locate this elusive bird.
